PANTALOONS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 291,473, dated January 1, 1884. Application mea July 19, 1883. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern,.-

'Be it known that I, HUGO F. ENGELS, of

Dorchester, county of Norfolk, State of Massachusetts, an alien Subject of the Emperor of Germany, now resident in the United States,

i have invented certain new and useful Im- C IO provements in Pantaloons; and I hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of my improvement, `which will enable others to make and use the same.

It is sometimes inconvenient to button and `unbutton the tabs or ends of Suspenders, as

usually attached to pantaloons, especially behind. A lame hand or arm renders it a painpense withfall buttons on the waistband and y my improvement consists in forming extensions or tabs on said waistband, and integral therewith, said tabs being provided with rings, loops, or equivalent devices, to 4which `the hooks or buckles ofthe Suspenders employed may be attached, thus enabling the ready atl taching or detaching of the pantaloons and suspending devices at all times and under any circumstances. This is easily and readily done, saAfes time, does away with buttons, and enotherwise could not be done without assist- Referring to the drawings, Figure l represeuts a back view of a pair of pantaloons made in accordance with my invention, and Fig. 2 shows the Special construction of the waistband employed.

A is the leg and body portion of the pantaloons; B, the independently-formed waistband attached to the same, in the ordinary manner, by stitching; and C and C C', tabs or upward extensions of the waistband, Said tabs being integral or of one and the same piece with the waistband, and being provided at their eX- tremities with rings or equivalent means for attachment with suspending devices.

I am aware of the United States PatentNo.
